Nocturnal bees are still poorly studied due to bias towards studying diurnal insects …

The plant-biotic pollinator interaction is crucial for the survival of both organisms. Insects are
recognised as eff ective biotic pollinators. As there are few specifi c studies on the pollination …

We analysed scientific production related to melissopalynology in Brazil and surveyed the
